Pioneering Qualifications for a Financial Career
The financial services sector, like many other industries, has literally shrunk in terms of access within the global arena. E-Commerce rules, and the development in information technology is accelerating at an awe-inspiring rate.

Business Schools Take a Global View
There is no substitute for the experience of living and working abroad. Learning to adapt to the social and business cultures of another country is a key skill for those likely to work with overseas partners. The Association of MBAs reports that there is a growing trend amongst overseas executives to supplement their international business experience by studying for an MBA within the UK.

MBAs and Postgraduate Programmes in the US
Before investing the money, time and energy in obtaining a business degree, one should determine the quality of the programs being offered. One factor to consider is whether the program is accredited by a specialised accrediting agency.

The Value of MBAs from a Corporate Perspective
The business world is changing at a rate that would have been unimaginable in the past.

The Changing Face of the Global Economy
On 28 January 2002, the European Policy Centre held a policy briefing on the changing face of the global economy. Keynote speaker was Jeffrey R. Immelt, CEO of General Electric since 7 September 2001, who spoke about his company's expansion strategy, especially in Europe.

The Liberal Arts
My friend Richard has an MFA in Creative Writing. My friend Joan has an undergraduate degree in art history.

Which MBA Programme?
How do you decide where to pursue an MBA? Well, if you base your decision on a program's effectiveness in teaching analytical skills, it's apparently hard to go wrong.
